IOCTL_SCSI_PASS_THROUGH_DIRECT with SATA

Hello All,
I have a user application that uses IOCTL_SCSI_PASS_THROUGH_DIRECT to
communicate with my removable SATA drives and it has been working fine
with ICH6 , ICH7 and Silicon Image adapters. Lately we got a new
machine that has ESB2 adapter.
Now If I send a scsi command and if the there is check condition, my
sense buffer data in the SCSI_PASS_THROUGH_DIRECT_WITH_BUFFER
structure is all 0 and the returned length of the sense data is 12
rather than 18.

Can anybody help with this problem?

Thanks
pada

Did you run a SCSI bus analyzer to see what is happening? Run windbg from
another system and see what is happening on the device stack when an error
is returned. Without source it will not be easy, but if you don't have a
way to get assistance for the drivers involved, you have no other choice.

Does the ESB2 adapter use a different driver from the previous adapters you
were using?

-p

ESB2 (AHCI or RAID) should be using the latest IASTOR driver. It does not
always return reliable sense data, nor does it process all SCSI commands
correctly. Contact Intel for support.
